I have a garden swing similar to yours. The slings don’t last very long with our Florida Sun. I’ve replaced two and started looking for another replacement. Then I found your demonstration on a wood replacement. This is such a great idea! I’m done with fabric slings.
Great idea. I plan to do the same, maybe with cedar or cypress, and to replace the canopy fabric with thin wood slats as well. It won't keep me dry, but it will provide shade.
Thank you. I just came up with the idea to redo my canvas swinging bench too. Love the yellow stain you chose. I wasn’t sure if the wood would create too much weight or cause an imbalance but I see it doesn’t at all.
Great job. I had the same idea, but didnt have courage to do it. Now you inspired me. I Will do it!!Your garden looks lovely too. Can you do a video tour?

Great idea
Thinking of doing the same
GREAT job!!!! You did it!!! ....AND you mentioned you never have done anything like this before...I am impressed!!!
You’re amazing! Mine has ripped so was thinking of wrapping rope to make a seat again!
I’ve done that- the cushions fall through the openings. I think the wood will last longer and provide a better platform for the cushions.

Oak Timber Boards 2m long x 160mm wide x 27mm thick
Having a table saw I would ripped the boards length wise to be able to cover the whole seat and back.
You could also buy patio chair material and used the old material you cut off as your pattern to sew a new one.
Nice work
Thanks 👍

Great. Good luck with yours. Thank you for the question I will try to do a garden tour. Have a lovely day!
I am doing this for our swing
I am going this too, you made it look so easy. I noticed you not drilling the hole in the middle why?
how thick were the boards?
One of the front metal rods holding the swing seat is missing. What can I do? I can replace the remaining 3 but with what? Rope? Chain?
Some hot stuff x
Don’t be pervy!
What is the thickness and width of the boards used?
Looks like 2x 6’s or 2 x 8’s. Length would depend on the length of your bench structure. Hope that helps in case she doesn’t see your question.
How thick is wood and what kind do I need it.did you got from home depot?
